FC Barcelona has made a firm decision regarding Dani Olmo, the blaugrana club doesn't want to make the same mistakes as in the past. To achieve this, it has drawn up a specific plan that closely resembles the one designed for Pedri. This approach, with the Canary Islander, produced excellent results, and he was able to recover his best version for playing soccer.
From the sporting management and the medical staff, they are clear: Dani Olmo is a strategic asset, his quality is beyond any doubt, but his injury history is a cause for concern. That's why the club doesn't want to take unnecessary risks. No rushing or forcing situations, the priority is for the footballer to reach the decisive stretch of the season in top condition.
Barça's idea is to go step by step, with Pedri González it was shown that a personalized program can make a difference, the Tenerife native also suffered from all kinds of injuries. Thanks to a tailored program, he managed to stabilize his physical condition and have an outstanding season, that's what they're now seeking with Dani Olmo.
Key to the team
The player from Terrassa is set to be a key piece in the 2025-26 project, the coaching staff considers him essential both in attack and in organizing play. That's why they don't want improvisation or management errors. The great experience with Pedri has served as a complete learning process, and in this case, a very similar protocol will be applied: controlled workloads, preventive work, and scheduled rest.
Moreover, the club is aware that Olmois coming off an inconsistent season, his time at Leipzig has been marked by physical ups and downs. That's why, from day one at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, he will undergo thorough medical monitoring. Medical reports will be weekly, and the work plan will be adapted according to his progress.
Total trust in the player
Internal sources explain that the player himself has accepted this dynamic with complete naturalness, he knows it's a medium-term investment. If his body responds, he will get minutes and prominence, because he doesn't lack quality. What he needs is continuity, rhythm, and trust; the club has even reinforced the team of physiotherapists.
Some of the professionals who already helped Pedri will be very close to Olmo. The goal is for the player to feel supported, both physically and emotionally. Nothing will be left to chance, everything is measured down to the millimeter, the decision was made after several meetings between Deco, the technical staff, and the performance area.
The message is clear, Dani Olmo is a priority and will be cared for like a jewel, they will avoid at all costs a repeat of what happened with other signings. Others who were never able to show their best level because of injuries.
